CHARLOTTE ( QUEEN CITY NEWS ) — With unanimous agreement, the Mecklenburg County Board of Elections voted to dismiss the allegations made against District 41 Democrat Candidate Caleb Theodros that he did not live in the district he will represent in Raleigh.
The decision came after more than an hour-long hearing on Tuesday, where his former challenger, Lucille Puckett, laid out why she believes he does not meet the state requirement for the position.

“Every piece of evidence points to a deliberate attempt to circumvent the residency requirements,” she stressed to the board during her closing arguments.
The allegations were brought forth by Puckett, who came in second on the ballot back in March.
She said the evidence she obtained through a private investigator pointed to Theodros still living in District 40 along Chansonette Court.
Tuesday afternoon, she handed multiple documents to board members, which included a signed notice that an individual did live at the address on Chasonette Court, a copy of Theodros’ driver’s license, which still listed his Chasonette Ct. address, and a lease agreement for an apartment Theodros’ later claimed he lived at when he charged his voter registration address in late November.
